Choose Your Friends Carefully part 2
AT the EMS station:
"Jamie, I need that paperwork today" Brooke was about to start her
lecture on how it was absolutely necessary to turn in paperwork on time.
"Yeah, I know" Jamie replied "I've got it right here" Jamie pulled out
his binder and began to search for the forms. "Here ya go" Jamie smiled as he
tossed the papers onto the table in front of Brooke.
"Thanks" Brooke had a look of total shock and dismay on her face. "You actually got it in on time"
"More of less" Jamie grinned
Just then Tyler walked into the room. "Hey guys" he greeted them
"Hi Tyler, I want that paperwork" Brooke told him as she walked out of
the room.
"Hi Tyler" Val said as she looked up from her English book.
"Hey, man" Hank had just walked in behind Tyler. "Hey guys"
"Hey" Jamie greeted, not bothering to look up from his French book.
"Hi Hank" Val replied with her usual cheery voice.
"So are you guys excited about Anthony Johnson's party on Saturday?"
Tyler asked. "Hey Jamie you should come. You know Anthony from the football team right?"
"Oh yeah, we're like best buds" Jamie replied sarcastically. Tyler and
Hank were the only guys from the football team that Jamie ever talked to.
"Sorry" Tyler apologized. "You should come anyway" he offered.
"Can't I'm busy" Jamie responded.
"Really?" Val inquired. "So
what are you doin?"
"Going to the mall with Caitie" Jamie mumbled.
"Come again? I don't think I
heard that"
"I said," Jamie began, "I'm going to the mall with Caitie"
Tyler, Val, and Hank looked at Jamie with smirks on their faces. "Oh
really?" Tyler asked.
"Don't even…hey…my sisters are going to be with us…so it is sooo not
gonna be a date." Jamie tried to reassure them.
"Uh huh. You better be careful.
Someone might mistake those little midgets as your kids and Caitie as your…wife"
Tyler teased. Everyone thought it was
so funny to watch Jamie deny that he and Caitie were just friends.
"Shut up" Jamie retorted as he threw a blue pillow at Tyler's
head. "Only you would think of
something like that"
"No, only I would make fun of you like that" Tyler corrected him.
"Hey Tyler, that's not true." Val piped in. "I like to make fun of Jamie too"
"Thanks guys, very funny. Anything you'd like to say Beecham?" Jamie questioned.
"Um…no, not really, I don't want your to come and beat me or something"
"Good for you" Jamie told him. Looking back at Tyler and Val, "Ya hear
that? Hank doesn't have a death wish like you two comedians."
They couldn't help laughing. After all, Jamie and Caitie always looked so cute together, but neither
would admit that. And neither would admit they were more than friends.
Jamie had gotten home around midnight, so everyone was already
asleep. His mom left him a note
saying that if he was hungry, there
were leftovers in the fridge. Jamie
picked up the note and quickly scanned through it. "No thanks" he said aloud. Jamie grabbed a soda out of the fridge and went straight to his room.
For once he had finished his homework at the station, but now he was just
sitting in his room since he couldn't get any sleep. He wanted to call Caitie, but she would be asleep and would be
cranky if he called her in the middle of the night because he was bored. Jamie sighed out of boredom and layed down
on his bed. He must have been more
tired than he thought, because he fell asleep not even a minute after his head
hit the pillow.
~~~~~~~~~~The Next Morning At School~~~~~~~~~~
Caitie approached the front entrance of school dressed in black jeans
and a black tank top that had the saying "Runs With Scissors" scrawled on the
front in white. Her medium length
blackish brown hair was held back in two high pigtails, the only real
difference was that her hair was now an almost unnatural shade of
lavender. Caitie had decided to dye her
hair the night before, that way she really did look like she belonged in the
band.
"Oh my god!" Skye cried out loud.
"She really is one of us!" Rio added.
"So…what'd your mom say when she saw your hair?" Jenna asked. "I mean, did she freak out or something?"
"Nah, not really, she's pretty used to me doing strange things, but she
did look a little worried when I told her it wasn't Kool-aid." Caitie replied.
"Hey it looks great, especially for a d.i.y job" Jenna complimented.
"Thanks"
"Now, if we could only get some new songs written then we'd really look
good" Rio added.
"Hey, lets not forget a name" Jenna reminded them.
"Good point." Caitie said. "Anyone got any ideas?"
"Why don't we work on that later?" Rio answered just as the morning
bell rang.
Jenna groaned, "its too early to start school"
"I know" Rio responded.
"Oh well, see you guys in Spanish" Caitie told them as they entered the school and went down separate hallways
to their lockers.
"K"
"Adios"
"See ya"
As Caitie approached her locker she saw Val running up to her. "Hey" she greeted, seemingly out of breath.
"Um, hi Val"
"So big plans Saturday, huh?"
Caitie groaned, "Don't start, Molly is going to be there and so is
Sami."
"Sure"
"They are!" Caitie half yelled, "Its not that big a deal"
"Are you sure?" Val asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, I'm sure, of course, I mean, why wouldn't I be sure" Caitie tried
to convince her friend.
"Well, its just that you and Jamie…" Val was unable to finish the rest
of her sentence, for she was interrupted by the ringing of the bell.
"Hey!" Caitie called as Val walked down the hallway. "Me and Jamie what?"
"Oh nothing" Val called back as she waved to Caitie.
Caitie sighed and shook her head. She grabbed her books out of her locker and made a run for homeroom.
Later that day-------Jamie's house--------
Jamie sluggishly made his way to his room when he got home. He was quite grateful that he wasn't on
call, but didn't know what to do with all the free time he had. Jamie threw his backpack in a corner of his
room and grabbed a motocross magazine off his nightstand. He flopped down on his bed not bothering to
take off his shoes or his black leather jacket. Five minutes into his reading Sami burst through his bedroom
door.
"JamieJamieJamieJamie!" She cried
"Hey you, don't you know how to knock?" Jamie asked sitting up and
putting his magazine down.
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't" Sami replied in sing-song rhythm.
"What do you want?"
"Ok," Sami began, "which one do you like better?" she asked as she held
up two extremely frilly dresses. One pink and the other yellow.
"Uh, Sami, I really wouldn't know since I don't wear dresses w/ giant ruffly
things on them." Jamie replied.
"Just. Pick. One." She begged.
"Sam, why are you asking me?"
"Because I wants to know yous opinion, duh"
"Um…" Jamie thought for a moment, "the yellow one"
"Ok, then I'm going to wear the pink one" Sami smiled
"Then why'd you ask me if you already knew which one you were going to
wear?"
"You sees, looking at the way you dress, I knew the one you didn't pick would be the better one"
"Are you saying I have bad taste in clothes?" Jamie questioned her.
"No, not exactly, I'm just saying that your taste is much worse than
mine and that-"
"Ok, if you really want to go to the mall on Saturday, then I suggest
you be quiet now" Jamie warned.
"I'm just saying…I don't wanna end up like you!" Sami told him and ran
out of his room in peels of laughter.
Jamie sat looking semi-bewildered at his door. "I was set up" he sighed
and went back to reading his magazine. 'Oh well, ' he thought, 'tomorrow is Friday and then comes Saturday'
Ok, I hope that didn't suck too bad. I really hope I can get the next part up soon. Please Review!!!!! Pleasepleaseplease!
